ArmInfo. "Last April, we threw back the adversary, which violated international agreements, on all directions; we ruined their plans, we smashed them altogether in the information war of those days. In one year, we fortified our border and armed our troops to the extent that today our frontline is simply unrecognizable," this was stated by Serzh Sargsyan, the President of Armenia, in his speech delivered while visiting one of the military bases in Artsakh.
"Today, our guys are following the movements of the enemy in the depth of its own territory. Today, super modern, devastating striking power aims at the entire territory of our belligerent neighbor, including its vital infrastructure. And today, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armenia without batting an eyelid will give if needed the order to strike with the Iskander. In the neighboring country they know it all too well," President said.
"We must hold our security in strong hands. Populism or weakness at the top of our security pyramid will be devastating for our entire nation. When we agree to end the four-day war, we certainly knew that a height or two had not been taken back yet. A person, fearful of our internal political realm or a populist, would give another 100 lives to bring back that piece of land to play a hero later, at the podium. Only a strong one could give the order to stop, to spare those lives and to take upon himself the future hollow blows of populism, realizing all too well how much territory had been gained before that silently and how much would be taken next time. Only strong people can understand the value of a human life. Our security needs a strong leader," Armenian President summarized.
